One of West Virginia's Temptations

Tucker's Clover Run
A great piece of water for dry fly and wet fly enthusiasts alike. I have personally fished it consistently for the last eight years and love not only the fishing but the scenery in and around the river. A nice piece of water for a 7'-8' bamboo fly rod and a 4 or 5 wt. line. My average fish size is typically between 8"-15" with some whompers lurking about mid summer early morning, late evening. Great early season hatches, and get my butt outta bed summer early morning sessions.

Stocked from bridge on WV Secondary Rt. 21, one a half miles south of St. George, upstream 4 miles to WV Secondary Rt. 23 bridge at the mouth of Valley Fork.
Stocked once each month February through May 

The Orvis Trout Bum Pull Over

Sam and I both have been wearing these for winter steelheading purposes. The pullovers are great because your sweat wicks and you do not get that steamy sweaty feeling after the day is done. I have tried Under Armour and some Patagonia under garments but these pullovers seem to do the trick!

Rade Hawkins Custom Knives

I recently purchased one of these knives and highly recommend them as far as edge quality and overall craftsmanship. The picture above is the Mamoth Ivory Hunter with a fixed blade. Rade is a superior craftsman and a great guy and has been making knives for 30 plus years.

Seneca River Update

Sam and I fished yesterday late on the Seneca, fished wet flies mostly, saw some risers to midges in the afternoon hours. The fish are still sleepy but managed to catch a few. Took my Clint Bova “Moluntha” out for a spin and caught a few on a pink Lady and some Parmachene Belle's. Spring is knockin at the door.
Sam brought some Gentleman Jack so we tripped a few times out of the stream but got home safe and sound.
